Can't delete a file
I have a file created by an accounting package which cannot be deleted.
Both DOS and netware attributes are set correctly (indeed I can't change them). I can't edit the file and save over it.
Win95 explorer reports the file is locked when I try to move it (it isn't according to Monitor on the console) and reports it does'nt exist when I try to delete it.
I have run DSrepair. I can't run vrepair without taking down the volume - the file is on SYS.
The file can be copied.
Can anyone tell me how to delete this file?

That worked. Unfortunately I couldn't try it during office hours but I managed to find a work around for the day.
